A Declaration of Mistrust

I was looking for myself

Saw only you

Telling me I wasn't there

Telling me not to wait

Not look anymore

I hated you

Or thought I did

You not only passed me by

As I laid by the waist side

Between rodent abyss

Either open or shut my eyes for good

I was looking for myself

Saw only you

Telling me I wasn't there

Awakening me to the gift

Of my early morning hours
